Hair Relaxers And Health Risks

Detangling the roots and health risks of hair relaxers. In this reflective and personal episode of Don’t Call Me Resilient, Prof. Cheryl Thompson of Toronto Metropolitan University and author of Beauty in a Box untangles the wending history of hair relaxers for Black women — and the health risks now linked to them. For decades, Black women have been using hair relaxers to help them “fit into” global mainstream workplaces and the European standards of beauty that continue to dominate them. More recently, research has linked these relaxers to cancer and reproductive health issues — and a spate of lawsuits across the United States, and at least one in Canada, have been brought by Black women against the makers of these relaxants. A vintage magazine ad for the ‘Raveen hair relaxer system...

Purlisse: The Differences And Benefits Of BB And CC Creams

Today we present to you a portion of the Purlisse Blog, where they discuss the differences and benefits of BB and CC creams: WHAT IS A BB CREAM? BB Cream stands for Beauty Balm or Blemish Balm, and was created in Korea. While it provides a bit of coverage, it is mostly formulated to be makeup infused skincare. BB Creams are comparable to tinted moisturizers, only they are packed with good for you ingredients plus a light coverage. WHAT IS A CC CREAM? CC Cream stands for Color Correcting or Complexion Correcting, meaning it neutralizes all the discoloration you have in your complexion to even everything out.

A History Of Myths About Black Hair: From Slavery To Colonialism And School Rules

“Your hair feels like pubic hair.” That was one of the first insults that someone hurled at my hair. She was a junior at my school. She would touch my hair and repeat this sentence to all present. I had to threaten her with violence to get her to stop touching my hair and comparing it to her pubes. This is one of the first dilemmas that black people face: do I let people touch my hair and under what circumstances? The question, “can I touch it?” becomes one of the most awkward social moments and can break relationships before they even start. This fascination with the texture of black hair (please don’t call it “ethnic”), is not new. In slave societies, white women would often hack off the hair of their enslaved female servants because it supposedly “confused white men” . Today, black w...

It’s No Laughing Matter For Millions Of Black American Women – But What Is Alopecia?

The Oscar slap that overshadowed the Academy Awards ceremony was sparked by a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s lack of hair – with husband Will Smith objecting violently to comedian Chris Rock mocking the actress’s shaved head. Away from the recriminations over what could be perceived as a mean-spirited jibe and a disproportionate response, many people will sympathize with Pinkett Smith. As millions of women in the U.S. will attest, hair loss is no laughing matter. The Conversation asked dermatologist Danita Peoples of Wayne State University’s School of Medicine about alopecia and why certain forms of it can disproportionately affect Black women. 1.

Celebrities And Their Love Of Tattoos

It isn't really surprising to learn that countless celebrities love tattoos, nor is it surprising that those who are in the public eye and in the media can have quite a significant influence on the American population's fascination with tattoos. The stars have a variety of tattoos, and so pretty much all of their fans crave tattoos also. For celebrities, age is not a real factor; older stars just like the younger ones have them too. We know all of these people well - but how much do we identify with the distinctive styles of artwork they choose? One of America's greatest movie stars, Robert DeNiro, has appeared in movies sporting no few tattoos. Whether or not his fans work out that they are only accessories for his films, the fact is in real life Robert DeNiro has only one tattoo, that ...
